* Including the equivalent ratings of any Substitute Rating Agency.

 

(c) If at any time the interest rate on the 2024 Senior Notes has been increased and  S&P (or any Substitute Rating Agency therefor) subsequently upgrades its rating of the 2024 Senior Notes to any of the threshold ratings set forth in Section 11.09(b), the interest rate on the 2024 Senior Notes shall be decreased such that the interest rate for such 2024 Senior Notes equals the interest rate payable on the 2024 Senior Notes on the Issue Date plus the percentages set forth opposite the ratings from the table in Section 11.09(b) in effect immediately following the upgrade in rating. If S&P (or any Substitute Rating Agency therefor) upgrades its rating to BBB- (or its equivalent, in the case of a Substitute Rating Agency) or higher, the interest rate on the 2024 Senior Notes shall be decreased to the interest rate payable on the 2024 Senior Notes on the Issue Date. In addition, the interest rate on the 2024 Senior Notes shall permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described in Section 11.09(b) (notwithstanding any subsequent downgrade) if the 2024 Senior Notes become rated BBB+ (or the equivalent of such rating, in the case of a Substitute Rating Agency) or higher by S&P (or a Substitute Rating Agency therefor).

 

(d) Each adjustment required by any downgrade or upgrade in a rating set forth in Sections 11.09(b) and (c) (each, a “Ratings Adjustment”), whether occasioned by the action of S&P (or  a Substitute Rating Agency therefor), shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate for the 2024 Senior Notes be reduced to below the interest rate payable on the 2024 Senior Notes on the Issue Date or (2) the total increase in the interest rate of the 2024 Senior Notes exceed 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the 2024 Senior Notes on the Issue Date.

 

(e) If at any time S&P ceases to provide a rating of the 2024 Senior Notes, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a rating of the 2024 Senior Notes from a Substitute Rating Agency, to the extent one exists, and if a Substitute Rating Agency exists, for purposes of determining any increase or decrease in the interest rate on the 2024 Senior Notes pursuant to the table in Section 11.09(b), (i) such Substitute Rating Agency shall be substituted for the last Rating Agency to provide a rating of the 2024 Senior Notes but which has since ceased to provide such rating, (ii) the relative rating scale used by such Substitute Rating Agency to assign ratings to senior unsecured debt shall be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company and, for purposes of determining the applicable ratings included in the table set forth in Section 11.09(b) with respect to such Substitute Rating Agency, such ratings shall be deemed to be the equivalent ratings used by S&P in such table and (iii) the interest rate on the 2024 Senior Notes shall increase or decrease, as the case may be, such that the interest rate equals the interest rate payable on the 2024 Senior Notes on the Issue Date plus the appropriate percentage, if any, set forth opposite the rating from such Substitute Rating Agency in the table set forth in Section 11.09(b) (taking into account the provisions of clause (ii) of this Section 11.09(e)).

 

(f) For so long as S&P (or a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) does not provide a rating of the 2024 Senior Notes, the interest rate on the 2024 Senior Notes shall increase to, or

 

12



 

remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the 2024 Senior Notes on the Issue Date.

 

(g) Any interest rate increase or decrease described in this Section 11.09 shall take effect from the first Interest Payment Date following the date on which a rating change occurs that requires an adjustment in the interest rate. As such, interest shall not accrue at such increased or decreased rate until the Interest Payment Date immediately following the date on which a rating change occurs. If S&P (or a Substitute Rating Agency therefor) changes its rating of the 2024 Senior Notes more than once prior to any particular Interest Payment Date, the last change by such agency prior to such Interest Payment Date shall control for purposes of any interest rate increase or decrease with respect to the 2024 Senior Notes described in this Section 11.09 relating to such Rating Agency’s action. If the interest rate payable on  the 2024 Senior Notes is increased as described in this Section 11.09, the term “interest,” as used with respect to the 2024 Senior Notes , shall be deemed to include any such additional interest unless the context otherwise requires.

 

(h) The Company shall promptly provide the Trustee with written notice of any increase or decrease in the interest rate due to a Ratings Adjustment.

 

(P)                                 By replacing Section 11.10 of the Base Indenture in its entirety as follows:

 

Section 11.10 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.

 

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to the 2024 Senior Notes, unless the Company shall have exercised its option to redeem the 2024 Senior Notes pursuant to Section 12.02, the Company shall be required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of 2024 Senior Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s 2024 Senior Notes on the terms set forth in this Section 11.10. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2024 Senior Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2024 Senior Notes up to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”) subject to the rights of the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall deliver a notice to Holders of the 2024 Senior Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer, describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the 2024 Senior Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

 

(i) accept for payment all 2024 Senior Notes or portions of 2024 Senior Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 

13



 

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all 2024 Senior Notes or portions of 2024 Senior Notes properly tendered in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Global Security representing the 2024 Senior Notes; and

 

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the 2024 Senior Notes properly accepted, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the principal amount of 2024 Senior Notes or portions of 2024 Senior Notes being repurchased.

 

The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as possible after the date of purchase.

 

(c) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party repurchases all 2024 Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

 

(d) The Company shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2024 Senior Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the 2024 Senior Notes, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 11.10 by virtue of any such conflict.

 

Section 2.                               The recitals and statements in this First Supplemental Indenture are made by the Company only and not by the Trustee, and the Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this First Supplemental Indenture (other than with respect to the due authorization, execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture by the Trustee). All of the provisions contained in the Base Indenture in respect of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and duties of the Trustee shall be applicable in respect of the 2024 Senior Notes and of this First Supplemental Indenture as fully and with like effect as if set forth herein in full.

 

Section 3.                               As supplemented hereby, the Base Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and the Base Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument and all references to Securities in the Base Indenture shall be deemed to refer also to the 2024 Senior Notes unless the context otherwise provides.

 

Section 4.                               This First Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 

Section 5.                               In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Base Indenture and the terms and conditions of this First Supplemental Indenture, then the terms and conditions of this First Supplemental Indenture shall prevail; provided that if and to the extent that any provision of this First Supplemental Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision which is required to be included herein or in the Base Indenture by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, such required provision shall control.

 

14



 

Section 6.                               All covenants and agreements in this First Supplemental Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

 

Section 7.                               In case any provision in this First Supplemental Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired hereby.

 

Section 8.                               Nothing in this First Supplemental Indenture, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar and any Authenticating Agent for the 2024 Senior Notes and their successors under the Indenture, and the Holders of the 2024 Senior Notes any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this First Supplemental Indenture.

 

Section 9.                               This First Supplemental Indenture may be simultaneously executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

(Reverse of Note)

 

MAGELLAN HEALTH, INC.

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its 4.400% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). The Notes are one of an indefinite number of series of debt securities of the Company (the “Securities”), issued or issuable under and pursuant to an  indenture, dated as of September 22, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank, National Association (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, dated as of September 22, 2017 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture is herein called the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (other than supplemental indentures creating a different series of notes) reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of the Notes are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set forth in this Note. This Note is one of a series designated on the face hereof initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000. The Company may, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders, issue and sell additional Securities ranking equally with the Notes and otherwise identical in all respects (except for their date of issue, issue price and, if applicable, the first payment of interest on the additional notes) so that such additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes. If any additional Securities are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, they will be issued with a different CUSIP number (or other applicable identifying number).

 

The terms of other series of Securities issued under the Base Indenture may vary with respect to interest rates or interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity, redemption, repayment, currency of payment and otherwise as provided in the Base Indenture. The Base Indenture further provides that Securities of a single series may be issued at various times, with different maturity dates and may bear interest at different rates. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

This Note is not subject to any sinking fund.

 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 5.01(5) or 5.01(6) of the Indenture, with respect to the Company) with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of this series then Outstanding may, and the Trustee at the written request of such Holders shall, declare the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of this series due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(5) or 5.01(6) occurs with respect to the Company, all of the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest thereon shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder.

 

This Note may be redeemed at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at the option of the Company (such date of redemption, the “Optional Redemption Date”) at the Redemption Price (as defined below) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Optional Redemption Date, subject to the rights of Holders as of the close of business on a relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the related Interest Payment Date.

 

The “Redemption Price” shall equal the greater of:

 

A-4



 

·                  100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or

 

·                  the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments on the Notes to be redeemed consisting of principal and interest, exclusive of interest accrued to the Optional Redemption Date that would be due if the notes matured on the Par Call Date, discounted to the Optional Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Yield plus 40 basis points;

 

provided, however, that if the Company redeems any Notes on or after the Par Call Date, the Redemption Price for such Notes shall equal 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed.

 

The Notes called for redemption become due on the Optional Redemption Date. Notices of redemption will be mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) at least 15 but not more than 60 days before the Optional Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the Notes will state the amount to be redeemed. On and after the Optional Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on any Notes that are redeemed. If less than all the Notes are redeemed at any time, the Notes shall be selected on a pro rata basis or by any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.

 

For purposes of determining the Redemption Price, the following definitions are applicable:

 

Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States of America Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that such Notes matured on the Par Call Date) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes assuming, for this purpose, the Notes mature on the Par Call Date.

 

Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Optional Redemption Date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the Company for that Optional Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or, if the Company is unable to obtain at least four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the Company.

 

Independent Investment Banker” means J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc. or Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as selected by the Company or, if all such firms are unwilling or unable to select the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

 

Par Call Date” means July 22, 2024 (two months prior to maturity).

 

Reference Treasury Dealer” means J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or their respective affiliates which are primary U.S. government securities dealers in New York City (such a dealer, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) and their respective successors, a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by MUFG Securities America Inc. and two other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Independent Investment Banker; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

 

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Optional Redemption Date for the Notes, an average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for the Notes, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the Company by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding the Optional Redemption Date.

 

A-5



 

Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any Optional Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity, computed as of the third business day immediately preceding the Optional Redemption Date, of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed as a percentage of its principal amount, equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for the Optional Redemption Date.

 

As provided in the Indenture, the Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Company or a third party at the option of the Holders at a purchase price of 101% upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event. Upon receipt of notice of a Change of Control Offer, Holders electing to have Notes repurchased pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall either (i) surrender this Note with the form of “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached hereto completed or (ii) transfer its Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, in either case prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series issued under the Indenture to be affected thereby, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, if any, or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof; or (ii) change the Place of Payment on any Security or the currency or currency unit in which any Security or the principal or interest thereon is payable; or (iii) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof; or (iv) reduce or alter the method of computation of any amount payable upon redemption, repayment or purchase of any Securities by the Company (or the time when such redemption, repayment or purchase may be made); or (v) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Securities, the Holders of which are required to consent to any supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of that series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences with respect to such series, except a default in the payment of principal of or interest, if any, on any Security of that series or a default with respect to a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be amended without the consent of such Holder.

 

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes shall be initially issued in the form of a Global Security. All payments of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes will be made to the Trustee so long as the Notes are in the form of a Global Security. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. If (x) the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, (y) the Company delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that this Note shall be exchangeable or (z) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, this Note shall be exchangeable for Notes in definitive form and in an equal aggregate principal amount. Such definitive Notes shall be registered in such name or names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee.

 

A-6



 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and above, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provisions of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

Certain of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to Notes may be terminated if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money or Government Obligations sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Notes, as provided in the Indenture.

 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), or the interest, if any, on this Note, or for any claim based thereon, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, director, officer or employee, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or indirectly through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment of penalty or otherwise; and all such personal liability is expressly released and waived as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the issuance of this Note.

 

The Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
